Hotel Tayromar

It was in a great location and good value for money

The facilities were basic but the location made up for it.

staff so nice. Breakfast fine room good value

Very friendly staff and close location to Parque de los Novios where you can find lots of restaurants and nightlife. On the other hand even closer to the sea and the beach which you can see from the terrace where the breakfast is served. Free coffee offered at the reception. There's only cold water but that's a standard on Caribbean coast. Typical breakfast (eggs, toast or arepa, fruit bowl, juice or water, coffee).

Very minor things but it would make a difference. They don't give a separate soap so you need to use shower gel. Also an extra small towel for drying hands would be great. Hopefully these little changes can be implemented!

location was excellent, right in between restaurant and bar area, and the marina. perfect walking distance to both areas. Breakfast was good, room is small but comfortable.

no hot water, our room on the first floor was close to the lobby, but all night and day we could hear everyone that passed by or was talking in the lobby, asi if they were right there. felt as if there was not much privacy.

I think everything was perfect, the staff was so generous, the breakfast was delicious, the location is spectacular, near from the beach, the cathedral and the restaurants. The bed was really comfortable and the temperature was something else.

I can't think on anything.

I booked a least expensive room. The first room I got was a dark small room without a window on the first floor (more precisely it has a window with a screen and when I opened the screen there is a wall from the next building a meter apart). So I asked the receptionist if I can get a better room then he gave me a room with a window facing the street on the second floor which was very nice, with a lot of sunlight. Location is very good, 1 block from the beach and 2 blocks (enough separation) from noisy parque de novios.

I would have felt miserable if I had stayed in the first dark room. There was noise from street until 2 am. Single glazed windows didn’t close completely. If they change this with better insulation, noise can be reduced significantly. I didn’t mind the noise too much because I was relaxed in any case.

+ location + value for money+ friendly and helpful staff+ breakfast included

- noise from the street

Bad

After checkout they charged us 40k for light dirty towel (one towel had little spots from cosmetic, nothing unwashable). I meant laundry is included in price already. The old woman at the reception is disgusting. She wanted to put the money in her pocket. I wouldnt go for this hotel anymore. It is scam for white tourists.

Good location, nice staff and good breakfast

A bit noisy at times

Location is good

No hot water, no working safe, pretty basic facilities

Great location, felt very safe. Room was bigger than expected and the bed was amazing. Bathroom was also amazing. And breakfast was good.

The location is amazing, close to the harbour, and right in the historic area of Santa Marta. Breakfast was very good and the view from the terrace was spectacular.

Room 103 has no sound insulation from the front lobby. You can hear every word spoken.

Staff was super helpful and so nice. I don't know spanish and they did a great job working through the communication with me. The location was perfect - steps away from the water front street, night life, shops, restaurants, etc. The air conditioning worked great. My reservation came with breakfast and it was hearty and delicious. Can't beat the price.

Not having heated showers - but I understand that's relatively normal in Colombia. Makes sense since it's so hot there. I eventually adjusted and by the end I didn't even mind. It felt refreshing from the heat.

Excellent location & Ivan and staff were great

Only one thing and it’s stated clearly in hotel information before booking, no hot water available but good for tropic warm weather

Small hotel very close to the Malecón and Plaza de los Novios (so very central), and surprisingly quite for Colombian standards (and that particular part of town).

Breakfast was disappointing and when I did the checkin, the person wanted to see my stamp of entry in my passport, although I have a visa and a cedula de extranjeria. It was kind of uncomfortable and I had to explain that with a CE, I don't need a passport to check-in..

The Hotel is perfectly clean, the stuff super nice and helpful and the rooms perfectly equipped with nice and comfy beds. Unfortunately we could not try the breakfast. The location is perfect as is in the middle of the historical part, where the main squares are and the gold museum, also few minutes away from the beach.

The location was good

My room was on ground floor and had a constant noise in the wall that sounded like scratching. When I told the front desk they said it was water running and did nothing. It was constant the entire 2 stay

Excellent location, very close to the beach, 1 block away (streets in Santa Marta are very small 1 block is not a big thing) everything is close to the hotel; markets, stores, restaurants (great variety of food options: Hamburgers Fries, pizzas -North American Food-, Arabian food (delicious shawarmas?) Italian food and of course Sea Food - Local Restaurants- streets are very secure, a lot of police officers in the area, the staff of the hotel is very friendly and Kind, breakfast was included; (decent breakfast) Air Conditioned was THE BEST OF THE BEST!

Even though the TV was a flat screen TV it was not a smart TV, so platforms like Netflix or Youtube were not an option ? Movie channels like Discovery was the only option and presented good movies

Very central location close to Parque de los Novios

The rooms close to the reception on the first floor can be noisy

Close to where we were going. Nice view and hotel room. Staff was very friendly.
